Heres a couple thats just entered my collection also have a ford mustang coming which ill post when it arrives.

rare lhd issue vauxhall firenza and in promotional box

Those look absolutely marvelous condition like straight out of the box there Tomte2007. The Vauxhall Firenza looks like the 1974 model and I had to check it out on Google to see what year this model came out.

One of the reasons I love googling around the traps on Google.

Firenza were aplenty over the ditch. Maybe gm will bring the name back like the viva

A nice play-worn Mercedes-Benz 280SL from TufTots.

I found this one in Ireland, complete with box. On a fair, but for little.

 



Range Rover from the later Impy series with blacked out windows.

 

When I first looked at the Firenza Richard. I recognised the style and shape which did look familiar although couldn't remember the Vauxhall at all. A bit like the Holden Torana but not exactly likeness although this two door style included some Japanese makes too. I suppose yes it was the basic styling of the day.

jclevering. Not to worry about the play worn beater Merc we all have some in that sort of condition. I just picked up the other day on eBay UK 8 Lone Stars in a Job lot which include the RNLI Range Rover and the Cadillac Eldorado Tourer with the same sort of superfast type wheels and which look like a plastic base on them. Anyway I post them on here when they arrive.

I think it has lived

The Firenza came with a 1.8 or 2.3 litre engine if I recall. I destroyed one on the banger track in my youth. My moggy which has been pictured on here had its wheels before they got bent on the track.



Here she is. Sorry but I realy liked that car.

Frame.

the 2.3 engine firenza was called the "Droopsnoot "

it had a differant grill or nose than the standard car

almost same color,must of been the us and canadian market that had the side repeater indicators as i know they didnt have them in the UK

Always thought the Firenza was a cross between the Opel Kadett and Manta, but also a Holden Torana lends a lot to the design.

Actually after looking on Google images the firenza coupe has some really nice curves to it like it looks like a neat looking dragon princess.
